Korda Longshank Beaked Carp Hooks Description
The Korda Longshank X was originally designed based on popular fly hook patterns that have been favoured by carp anglers for their unique shape and exceptional hooking capability. Through Kordas enhancements, we have increased their strength and sharpness.
With two major changes inspired by underwater experiences, DF has continued to perfect this ultimate carp catcher over the last 20 years. This popular pattern has become an even more lethal option in Dan's arsenal.
The first change was to create the hook with a beaked point. During testing, the beaked point provided more secure hook holds, increasing the hooked fish to landed ratio significantly.
The other change was to in-turn the eye even further. The original pattern has a 20 degree in-turned eye, the new beaked version increases this to 40 degrees. This helps the hook flip and turn extremely quickly in the carp’s mouth, ensuring consistently good hook-holds.
In keeping with the original pattern, the Longshank Beaked is forged, with a stepped-up wire gauge for extra strength, whilst maintaining its durability with a PTFE coating.
Available in sizes 4, 6 and 8, barbed and barbless, with ten hooks per pack.
